Dad who Lost 3 Children in MH17 Tragedy Takes Indefinite Leave from his Job
A heartbroken father of three Australian children killed on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has taken indefinite leave from his job as head of Buxton Resources.
The children, Mo, 12, Evie, 10 and Otis, eight, had boarded MH17 with their grandfather Nick Norris so they could return to Australia from their European holiday in time to start school this week. Their parents Mr. Maslin and his wife Rin had farewelled their three children on the ill-fated flight last Thursday.
Mr. and Mrs. Maslin had planned to stay on in Amsterdam for a few more days after their children
left. The family was meant to be reunited today.
Mrs. Maslin's father, Nick Norris, was a government consultant who
formally worked as a school principal. The Maslin children's devastated
parents flew home on Saturday and attended a public tribute for their
children at Mo's junior football club on Sunday.
The three children and their grandfather were among 298 people who died when MH17 was shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine. Mr Norris is survived by his wife Lindy, their four adult children and surviving grandchildren.
